The session will take place on Wednesday 8 November from 10.30 am to 12.45 pm on the stand of the UPC (Hall 2, floor 0, stand D36). Other participants will be the spin-offs ABLE Human Motion, Aridditive and HONEXT, which emerged from the university and will also be present in the UPC exhibition space.\r
This year, some of the prototypes of UPC projects and spin-offs selected for the fair will be presented: a prototype of a robot that can talk and carry out every day and care tasks, samples of sustainable construction materials based on fibres from clothes waste and textile remnants, an interactive model that will show the integration of flows between buildings and urban agriculture for an ecological transition in cities, a system based on IoT that can improve the performance of batteries in fire detection systems developed in collaboration with the company Detnov Security S.L., and a digital display totem that acts as a virtual assistant and that, through the use of artificial intelligence, helps users to find out about, apply for and manage social grants from the local government. In addition, a robotic exoskeleton will be demonstrated that is designed to help the mobility of people with spinal cord injuries, as well as two concrete 3D printed prototypes and a prototype constructed with a fireproof, sustainable material based on industrial fibres from the paper and cardboard industry.\r
In addition, two European projects will be presented. The first is the Master of Science in Smart, Secure and Interconnected Systems (MERIT), led by the Manresa School of Engineering (EPSEM UPC<\/a>) of the Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya – BarcelonaTech (UPC<\/a>), whose aim is to increase the number of digital specialists and promote retraining in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity on the internet of things through a master\u2019s degree that will be launched in September 2024. The second is INDUSAC, whose aim is to develop and validate a new last-generation system of collaboration, to optimise cooperation between the industrial sector and the academic world, and facilitate joint creation processes through innovative, person-centred methodology.\r
In the framework of this event, Silvia Chellini, from the CIT UPC\\’s Transfer and Innovation Area, will give a conference entitled \\’Innovative Solutions for More Sustainable and Inclusive Cities\\’ on the opening day, Tuesday 7 November from 18.15 h to 18.25 h, that will take place in Hall 1, Plaza Innovation.\r
